Budgewoi Hotel — fondly known as The Budgie — is a reimagined coastal landmark on the Central Coast, just 90 minutes from Sydney. Once The Coast Hotel, it now blends local history with fresh energy. From sunny beer garden afternoons to fireside winter nights, pub classics to Lago Cucina upstairs, The Budgie is a true neighbourhood favourite for every season.

For guests travelling locally, a courtesy bus operates Fridays & Saturdays from 5pm plus, Sundays 11am – 4pm servicing a 5km radius of the hotel. Call (02) 4390 9336 for times & bookings.

The Budgewoi Hotel menu is all about pub classics done right – think crispy schnitzels, juicy burgers, fresh seafood and hearty seasonal dishes made to share with friends and family. Behind the bar you’ll find a wide selection of tap beers, classic cocktails and approachable wines, with something to suit every taste and occasion.
Lago Cucina sits on Level 1 of the Budgewoi Hotel.
Lago Cucina is a contemporary Italian trattoria on the Central Coast, perched above The Budgewoi Hotel with glimpses of Lake Budgewoi.

The menu celebrates modern Italian cooking with handmade pasta, bold flavours and timeless favourites, paired with cocktails that channel the spirit of the Italian coastline.
With capacities of up to 80 guests cocktail, Budgewoi Hotel is the ultimate Central Coast destination for birthdays, corporate gatherings, cocktail parties and everything in between. From private event spaces to outdoor areas, The Budgie offers a relaxed, versatile setting right in the heart of Budgewoi.
